NBA Megastars and Their All-time Favorite Restaurants

NBA has now existed for seventy-seven years. There is no doubt that it is plagued with fascinating facts, accomplishments, and accolades. People frequently search for information on their favorite athletes or teams. Indeed, there is huge information about anything, including the NBA megastar’s favorite restaurants. 

After all, who doesn’t have a favorite restaurant where you love to go and grab a delicious meal? So do these megastars from the NBA. So, let’s check out where could you go take a bite, and maybe meet one of them.

Nikola Jokic

There is a solid case to be made that Nikola Jokic, the NBA’s two-time reigning MVP, has established himself as the finest power forward in the league right now. 

Despite being only 27 years old, he has averaged 26.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists over the past two seasons while shooting 58% from the floor. Not bad at all.

So what is Nikola’s favorite restaurant? That will be In-N-Out Burger, a regional network of fast food restaurants in America. First established in 1948 by Harry (1913–1976) and Esther Snyder (1920–2006) in Baldwin Park, California.

In-N-Out Burger has most of its outlets in California and the Southwest. The network now has its headquarters in Irvine, California, and branches across the remainder of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Colorado. There are also plans to open branches in Idaho and Tennessee. 

LeBron James

Currently 38 years old, LeBron James still demonstrates that he has a very long career ahead of him. LBJ averaged NBA lines of 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game in 2021–22, with no indications of slowing down anytime soon. 

His favorite restaurant is Blaze Pizza, which is situated in Pasadena, California. Elise and Rick Wetzel, owners of Wetzel’s Pretzels, founded Blaze Pizza in 2011. 

In fact, LeBron James is one of the founding investors in the chain, where pizza is offered in a fast-casual service.

Joel Embiid

The frequently injured Joel Embiid is currently one of the top NBA players. The dominant big man since Dwight Howard’s prime is the subject of our discussion. This was clearly demonstrated by him finishing as an MVP finalist this past season, averaging 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds. These are just outright absurd statistics.

Joel Embiid loves P.F. Chang’s, an American casual dining restaurant chain that serves Asian fusion food. It was established in 1993 by Paul Fleming and Philip Chiang. Chang’s was owned and run by Centerbridge Partners up until March 2, 2019, when TriArtisan Capital Advisors bought it. 

The restaurant franchise specializes in Asian and American Chinese food. P.F. Chang’s maintains 300 restaurants, including P.F. Chang’s To Go takeout shops, in 22 different countries and American airports.

Stephen Curry

One of the best players in the NBA is Stephen Curry. There is little doubt about that now that he has guided Golden State to its fourth championship in eight years while also winning NBA Finals MVP for the first time. 

Curry averaged 31.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while shooting 44% from beyond the arc in the Finals matchup with Boston. Set today apart. This guy is the best of all time.

Stephen Curry loves Sweetgreen, an American fast-casual restaurant business that specializes in salads. Established in November 2006, Sweetgreen is already present in thirteen states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Texas, Florida, and the District of Columbia. A Wisconsin location will also soon open for business.

Kevin Durant

Following a sensational deal from Brooklyn to Phoenix, Durant is now a member of the Suns and will work with Devin Booker, another star NBA player, to help Phoenix win a championship. KD still performs at a high level despite suffering from injuries and reaching the age of 34. This season, he averages nearly 30 points on 56% of his shots.

Kevin Durant has mentioned his love for Carbone, an Italian-American restaurant with locations in New York City and Las Vegas, known for its classic dishes and old-school ambiance.

Carbone has outlets throughout the country, including Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Major Food Group, which also runs ZZ’s Clam Bar, runs it. The original restaurant, which succeeded the 90-year-old Rocco Restaurant, another Italian eatery, debuted in 2013.

The restaurant’s owners, Mario Carbone, and Rich Torrisi, claim that they based their food, interior design, and ambiance on iconic Italian eateries from the 1950s and 1960s in New York City.

Giannis Antetokounmpo 

Since the start of the 2017–18 season, the two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.4 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists. At the still-young age of 27, he earned the NBA Finals MVP award in 2021 and is constantly improving. Over time, he’ll rank among the top NBA players.
